ICHS Conference - SCOPE

The EU-funded NoE HySafe, under the auspices of IPHE, is currently organizing the Second International Conference on Hydrogen Safety (ICHS) which is part of the HySafe Work Plan.

HySafe, or “Safety of Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier” is a Network of Excellence (NoE) within the VI European FWP (UE contract SES6-CT-2004-502630). The network is organizing this event in collaboration with principal EU and international projects on hydrogen safety and will focus the conference on safety issues relevant to the improvement and coordination of knowledge and understanding of hydrogen safety.

ICHS will aim to provide a basis for eliminating safety-related barriers to the implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier and as such, will also contribute to promoting public awareness and trust in hydrogen technology by providing a basis for communicating the risks associated with hydrogen.

As the subject matter of the conference will be dedicated principally to safety issues and measures to promote the public acceptance of hydrogen-based technologies, the material covered in this event will differ from other conferences on hydrogen. All contributions for inclusion in the Conference will be evaluated exclusively in terms of their scientific and safety content.

Papers submitted that do not address safety issues will be automatically rejected.
